Sonny

Sonny’s Got You, Babe They say love won’t pay the rent, but with Sonny by your side, you’ll be rich in cuddles. This 25-lb, 6-month-old Aussie Shepherd/Lab mix started off shy, too scared to leave his crate. But with Sheila, his 60-lb mentor and professor of How to Be a Dog 101, Sonny’s learned to romp, play, and embrace the good life. Now, he’s hoping for a forever home with another dog to continue to guide him along. Thanks to his foster momma’s love, Sonny’s become the ultimate cuddlebug. He’ll sit on your lap, snuggle close in bed, and stick by your side—because, just like the song says, he’s got you to hold his hand, and he’s got you to understand. Though he’s still mastering commands, Sonny already knows how to follow his people and dog pals everywhere. Potty breaks? No problem—he nails them outside or hits the bright blue puppy pad if needed. And whether you’re working or relaxing, Sonny’s happy to be your little shadow, snoozing nearby and always ready for affection. He might be a bit shy at first, but once he knows he’s safe, expect licks, cuddles, and endless love. With Sonny around, you’ll have everything you need—because he’s got you, babe.

All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for puppies covers initial deworming, puppy vaccinations, microchip, and spay/neuter at the rescue's approved vet at 6 months of age.
